Gulf Air PCE addresses on DLR assessments.
To all pilots(Gulf Air),
Since November 2000 Gulf Air has been sending pilots to the DLR aviation and Space Psychology Department in Germany that offers psychological assessments for aviation personnel.These assessments have proven to be excellent aid for the Gulf Air pilot selection.
The DLR is an independent non-profit scientific research organisation with 50 years experience and with highest credibility in the industry,interviewing in excess of 2000 pilots per year for the major airlines in Europe and elsewhere.
DLR conducts the following aviation psycological assessments for Gulf Air personnel:
**Personality and flight management attitude assessments for First and Second Officers to determine command potential,pilots with previous airline experience applying for entry to the company and all other Gulf Air pilots-including Captains- whose performance and /or attitude could be improved.
**Assessment of basic aptitude,psychomotor skills and personality for pilot applicants at the ab-initio level,including licence holders,with low experience levels,applying for their first airline position,and applicants with no previous aeronautical experience whatsoever.
Captains who have a proven record of high standard of competency are exempted from this assessment.
I wanted to give you this brief for your information,understanding and support.
Ibrahim Abdulla Al Hamer.
President & Chief Executive
